The combination with a conductor ling part of high potential electric apntus, of solid insulating material around conductor, and an oil-lled insulating ensuing inclosing said conductor, said bushcomprising dat disks and separate means including a plurality of axially extending for holding together said disks.

3. [ian insulating bushing formed of a iiumber of annular d" 'ks of insulating mate iai, and means including a plurality of members having different axes and cach exding axially of said bushingv for holding to ther :aid annular disks.

n combination, a bushing comprising ir insulating members and retaining iding moreltlian two bodies each axially of said bushing, and a axigll located in said bushing om the walls thereof by an nting liquidi in combination, a bushing comprising annular insulating members, means Darn from said members for retaining them, id a conduct-or axially located in saidbushing and separated from. the Walls thereof by an insulating liquid and an in?" isolating member.

of a' plurality ofrannular members of insulating material, and metal members each extending axially of said bushing for holding together said annular members.

7. An insulating bushing formed of a number of insulating disks, and means separate from said disks-ffor holding together said disks, said means comprising axially extending bodies having parallel axes, each of said bodies being located in two disks.

8. An oil-lled insulating bushing formed of a number of disks of insulating material, and means separate from said members for holding together said disks, said means com prising axially extending bodies each located in adjacent' disks.

9. ln combination, a bushing comprising annular insulating members held together by means separate from said members, and a conductor axially located in said bushing and separated therefrom by spirally wound insulating material within said bushing.

l0. In combination, a bushing comprising flat annular insulating-disks held together by threaded members, and a conductor axially located in said bushing and separated therefrom by insulating paper and liquid.

1l. An insulating bushing formed of a series of flat similar insulating disks, and means comprising axially extending members for holding together said disks, the axes of said members being parallel.

l2. The combination with a conductor forming` a part of high potential electric apparatus, of oil and insulating paper wound spirally around said conductor, and an insulating bushing inclosing said conductor, said bushing comprising insulating disks, axially extending members for holding together saidvdisks, and a metal cap engaging said conductor at one end of said bushing completing an electric circuit.
